Four Cow Posse

These four cows, after being a bit skittish when I approached to take shots of their cattle egrets, later congregated like this to keep and eye on me.

There were two more off to the left, one licking it's rump in an obvious distractionary move, presumably they were hoping I'd take my eyes off them so they four of them could rush me... I however escaped this suspicious posse!

    Be afraid, be very afraid. You're fortunate to have recorded & survived the encounter. They look devious, don't they?!
